We recently got a car for both me and my husband. It was a great experience with attentive salespersons. The whole process was smooth and Joanna and Dory were great to work with. Matt, one of the managers, was also great to work with! Definitely a great place to shop for a new car!

I purchased 4 tires and discovered on my way home that my windshield wiper was missing. The rep brought a set to my home but they didn’t fit. Called back and Adam was rude and raised his voice at me. I will NEVER use this place again.Update: Luis is an exceptional Service Technician. He went above and beyond to ensure my wipers were replaced. If you go there, ask for him!

I had my Volkswagen Atlas serviced for several issues. They did a great job - very competitive pricing, highly communicative, and an easy and seamless experience. I’m really glad I chose them for service.

I have been to a few of the VW dealers for oil changes and service, and the customer service I was provided here was great! My car needed an oil change ASAP and I couldn’t get into any of the other locations, but this locations squeezed me in even though they were booked. I dropped my car off the night prior and my car was ready by 12pm the next day (I had an oil change, general service check, and a recall fixed). Staff is ALL super friendly too. Highly recommend.

Dory was amazing! She helped make a sometimes stressful process easy. Fernando made sure our new vehicle was detailed and both were so helpful and lovely I strongly suggest everyone come to City Volkswagen for a great experience. Thanks again!

Such a Smooth and easy process from beginning to end! Professional across the board and the best sales person, John Sheehy. We went in without an appointment but were still seen and shown around. John was exceptional, patient, and with so much knowledge. Despite not having an appointment he took his time in showing us different models and taking us out on a test drive. Once we got to the finance part of it all this dealership is hands down the most straight forward and quick to close. Mark answered all of our questions and moved quickly and efficiently. It was refreshing to work with a team that knows their stuff and values their customers.

First time service for my 2020 Tiguan, and first time with pre-paid routine maintenance. The visit was smooth and efficient, though I did opt for the $30 tire rotation, since it has been a year. Adam was able to quote VW specs from memory when I posed a few questions. Top notch service.

Had a great experience working with the team at VW Downtown Chicago. They were able to help me find the car I was looking for and worked with me to get me a good deal that I was happy with. They do have an off site garage for most of their fleet though so I would recommend making an appointment and they bring the car to the dealership before you get there and have it ready to test drive.

The quality of the service at this VW has dropped precipitously since its opening. I received an oil change and tire rotation this past Tuesday (10/19). When I received my car it had not been washed nor cleaned. None of my fluids were checked or topped off along with no 12 point inspection. I also noticed something interesting. The tire pressure indicator light had not gone away. So I drove 2 blocks only to find out that my psi in 3 of my tires were well below the threshold. Absolutely unacceptable and ridiculous when you think that one of the services that was performed was a tire rotation. This is the second time in a row that I have received absolutely abysmal service.

It’s been two years since moving into the city, so I was very hesitant about going to a NEW dealer for service on my 2017 Passat. Well let me tell you, the service here is phenomenal! I was very lucky to have Mike S. as my service tech. Mike was very professional, very detailed in explaining what was wrong with my vehicle and he stayed consistent with this treatment by walking me to my vehicle once service was complete.You just don’t get THIS type of service anymore. Can’t believe I’m saying this BUT, I’m looking forward to my next service visit here at Volkswagen of Downtown Chicago.

Brought my car in for service post-cross country trip in preparation for heading back to the west coast. They were extremely thorough and so far, the car feels almost like new. Biggest issue I had was trouble reaching an actual person in the service department. Multiple attempts, multiple days. But when I was able to get someone, they were great.

Very kind and professional. As a young woman, I get patronized frequently and many places try to rip me off or trick me into purchasing unnecessary things for my car. I wanted a tire rotation and oil change. And they did just that. Didn’t try to pressure me into buying anything else or doing anything else. They were friendly and the price was decent for a dealership in the city. Definitely would recommend.

The service reps were very kind and attentive and the price as the cheapest quote I received, in spite of everyone telling me not to go to the dealership. I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 because I had to wait almost a week for an appointment and the delivery of my vehicle once it was done took a little longer than I preferred. Overall I say, go with the dealership first, they know the car and the prices were right!

Review №21

Honestly the worst car dealership I’ve ever encountered. I saw a car with a salesman, then followed up wanting him to order me the one that we discussed. He wouldn’t return my calls for a week, called and just asked to speak with any salesperson because I just wanted the car. No one called me back ever so I got the car from Bill Jacob’s VW in Napleton, where I had a great experience.

Chris Smith did a wonderful job! He was very knowledgeable  and I can tell he loves what he does.  He was very accommodating and personable. My husband and I loved his approach and he sealed the deal. Chris is definitely an asset to this company. “O” was also helpful with this purchase.The wait for the financing department was ridiculous. We were there in total for about 7 hours.As we were buying the vehicle as a gift for my daughter’s graduation. I asked for a bow and I was told that the dealership uses the bows for photo opps or for the holidays and basically that I could not have one. I think asking for a bow to go on the car should have been very minute to the time I wasted their to purchase and for the money spent . The dealer should have accommodated me somehow at least with a $14 dollar bow.However, since I knew we would purchase a vehicle. We rode with my sister who parked with valet. Upon retrieving the vehicle, there were a missing item and that didn’t sit well with me. It was small, but it belonged to her and that’s not okay.So I’m conclusion I have to give 5 stars for Chris Smith but for the dealership 3 stars due to the experience.

I brought my car in for the 80,000 mileage maintenance, which included an oil change and cost $850 total. A few days later my engine oil light came on. I checked the engine oil multiple times, on a flat surface and after waiting 10 minutes for the engine to cool down, and the engine oil level barely was at the minimum dipstick level. I had to add my own oil to the car in order to drive it back to the dealership. When I brought it back they said they couldn’t “duplicate the incident,” or find any issues. They flushed the oil and topped it back off. The engine oil change was clearly not done properly and when I returned it to be fixed, they took no responsibility, made no effort to apologize, or offered any kind of reimbursement. This photo shows the engine oil level a few days after the “oil change.”

Very professional and courteous team. Uses technology through the whole process, including electronic invoices and e-payments.One area for improvement is that the appointment scheduling system doesn’t seem to communicate with the in-person visit, so all the information I had entered had to be re-entered (e.g., name, address, reason for visit, etc.)

Review №30

Went in 3 weeks ago to negotiate a Tiguan lease. After multiple discussions, we finally agree on a price but ask for a little less to put down and their response was a higher monthly payment and higher money down with less annual miles because they “ran the zip code” and realized their original estimate on taxes was incorrect. They had this zip code from the start by the way.I’m aware the ups and downs of car negotiations, but this was unprofessional and a waste of time. Prepare to get swindled and prepare to wait a day or two to get one little question answered. Disappointing

Review №32

We wanted to buy a car. They said they only do appointments, and the latest appt can be at 7pm. We scheduled an appointment for the next day morning, since we could not make before 8pm. We went in, they have said somebody walked in last night and bought the car. They did not call us to say. Instead they walked with us, made us sit and wait and show other car options that we don’t want. We took day off from our jobs for this non sense and drove all the way there just to hear they sold the car. If we knew we could walk in, we would do it the day before! So unprofessional. Call regularly if you are going to see a car, because they do not inform at all (Plus they say they have parking-no they dont have any space for your car) if you need vw dealer/service go to Volkswagen Oaklawn and talk to Eduardo, little more drive but professional service!

Review №34

While I know that the car buying process can be a long and daunting one. However, overall, I found my experience with the dealership to be as pleasant as it could be - it was probably my best car buying experience, besides getting a $75 ticket on W. Oak Street! I had to park 2 blocks away because parking was not available anywhere in front of the dealership or close by; I circled the block three times. Later, I was told that the dealership has valet service for those with an appointment. Well, I had an appointment. I felt VW of Downtown Chicago should have taken responsibility for at least part of the ticket - that gesture would have been admirable and good customer service. The sales and finance personnel were personable, kind, and professional. I never felt I was being raked over the coals. They made me feel safe and that I was getting the best possible deal available.I had to return 3 days later to wrap up a couple of things. I made sure to request valet and found the back of my vehicle was dented. I called the next morning and afternoon without success. I finally reached the service manager. He showed professionalism and exceptional customer service when he said to come in to view it together. We did, and he is scheduling a day for me to bring the vehicle in to remove the dent, and is offering a rental to boot! He turned my frown upside down.Although I am happy with my purchase, overall, I feel that the dealership could have taken responsibility for the ticket, and been more communicative about it could have been better.

Called this dealer about an appointment to determine why the check engine light came on. When I arrived for the appointment, they told me there is a charge of $190 to diagnose the problem that I would have to pay regardless of the finding even I didn’t proceed with them on a fix.They should have told me about the charge when I called to make the appointment. I view this as basically a bait and switch combined with psychological entrapment. Buyer beware!I tried this dealer again after a very poor experience a couple years ago. Joke’s on me :(Update: after the appointment, driving home, I noticed that the check engine light was no longer on and the auto up feature of the driver-side window was no longer working. I called the service rep who managed this service for follow-up information. I got voice mail both times and *still* have not received a call back as of 9/3/2021, adding insult to injury. Not sure why the owner comment below asked for my name since I posted publicly, but here goes: Joe Bernstein.

I had a horrible experience at this dealership.First, I called and asked if a vehicle was in a stock. They confirmed it was so I go in.I get there and they jockey me around and I have to wait for 45 minutes to see the car. Finally, they bring the car and it is the wrong car.The lady says she will find out where the said car is, wait another 20 minutes. No one there could help me when all I wanted was to see a car. After a 2 hour ordeal, I found out they didnt even have the car. I left and wont be returning.I will be purchasing from another VW dealership.

Jaymi G. was my Service Advisor and she was great--very pleasant and patient. She did a great job explaining all of my service options (was there for regular vw maintenance). She patiently answered my questions and thoroughly communicated throughout the process.I havent had service this good at this location in almost 10years--back when I had an Audi Q7. The service time was good and it didnt take 45mins for them to bring my car down. .

I walked into VW of Downtown Chicago slightly thinking they would look down on me (it’s a classy joint) and I would be the last person serviced, but to my surprise, they were very friendly and courteous.I was greeted and immediately set up with a sales agent and they valeted my car so I didn’t have to worry about downtown parking regulations.We were in my desired car and test driving in no time and I was out the door driving my new used car purchase around the Chicago area- yahoo!I am very satisfied with my service and the price of my vehicle. I highly recommend this place for new or used car buying.Angie Berg is the best- ask for her, and tell her Pam sent you.

I was down town and stopped in everyone was amazing especially my sales person he made sure I was really satisfied he was laid back and new to sales but knew what What he was doing if he didn’t know he made it his business to find out I really felt good making a purchase.

Originally stopped in on August 14th to test drive a Taos. Unfortunately we were unable to walk off with one due to recall on the vehicle. However, we were able to test drive that one and really liked the car.The sales agent was successful in neogtiating a sale with us under the impression that by early October we would be able to take delivery of the car.Over the last 2 months we have had a lack of communication from the sales agent, even after leaving multiple messsages, stopping down to find out what was going on. Especially considering that we had put down a deposit.Earlier this week we had been contacted by the GSM that they werent able to get us the color that we had requested and asked if we sould be interested in a different color. We said we would be okay with that, considering we really just wanted our new car. He let me know that he would reach back out on Friday at the lastest. This was on Wednesday.It is now Saturday, we tried calling this morning but the GSM was getting coffee and would be back in touch... and we have yet to hear about what is going on.The level of service that everyone says is amazing has not been there and frankly wont be using them again after this purchase.

I cant say enough good things. We rolled up in a old and busted 2011 chevy cruze. The staff was friendly and took care of us. Preston handled us and did a great job.

I would go here again.

Terrible! I called ahead and gave them my eta so that they could get everything together for my car purchase, but no, car needed gas and a wash, and paperwork wasnt together. Then finally, after I left I noticed I only had half a tank.....so what were they doing? But all that fails in comparison to the car BREAKING DOWN and not making it home! The check engine light came on and a warning message that said drivetrain malfunction appeared then vehicle stalled and needed to be re-started at every complete stop. At this point Im not too mad because I got the extended warranty. I then reached out to the sales person, via text, who sold me vehicle and told her the situation. That the car broke down, and no response!!! Unacceptable

Worst experience I have ever had buying a car. Drove in from out of state and they were totally not prepared. Then they didn’t know how to re-title a car in my home state, despite the fact they said they do it dozens of times a month.Then 2 weeks after I purchased the car they have not paid off my trade in, nor sent the new title to the bank. The bank has requested it twice and told me they are not getting a reply. Not getting a reply makes sense because I have called more than 6 times in the last two weeks and received no response from anyone there.Bottom line don’t buy a car from these clowns, If I could give them zero stars I would.

I like going to the car dealership as much as I like going to the dentist. I will avoid it as long as I have to. Preferably forever. I absolutely had to come in to purchase a car. And that’s where I met Chris Smith. This is where my love for Volkswagen began. Unlike most car salesmen, Chris has the most amount of patience than anyone I’ve met in this industry. He’s so kind, caring, in-tuned with what I was looking for, understanding and helpful. You can tell he just wants a car to fit. I never once felt pushed. I bought my car a few weeks later and had to come back to the same person because of how much I felt I trusted Chris. I was right. I’m such a happy gal driving home with my VW Taos. I loved my experience and I wish for every new car buyer to have such a smooth, happy experience making their big purchase. Thank you again Chris. And their finance man, Neal and GM Matt Kutyna. I couldn’t be more grateful 🥰🥰

DONT BUY FROM HERE THEY WILL SELL YOU A LEMON. I bought a 2016 Honda fit with 53k miles on it 2 months ago. After a month, the check engine light came on. I took it to service who could not figure out the problem so they just cleaned it and sent me on my way DESPITE the fact that I told them I needed it to take me all the way to the west coast. Now I am in Utah, needing to get to Portland - check engine light is back and I am very unhappy. Do not ever buy from this place they are not honest at all.

Very crowded when I got there 10 am, on time for my appointment was asked if I was dropping off the car, I said no. Miguel gave me the impression that it would be a very long wait. I had to negotiate a reasonable price (I had a digital coupon) . I was ready to leave. I have a 2019 atlas I have paid for oil changes before this was no special price. Miguel finally agreed to do it in less than 2 hours. No tv in waiting room except kids room. They finished a little early. So thats something. I drove 18 miles thru the city, to get here, and theres a dealership less than 2 miles from my house, but Im still looking for a GOOD dealership.

After waiting a bit for a representative to work with us we ended up having a wonderful interaction with Joanna Davila who took us through the entire process from trade in to purchase. She was great from start to finish and made us feel welcome and like family. Her knowledge of the makes and models offered by VW was amazing and she was able to hone in on exactly what we wanted and made great suggestions. Through this process we also encountered GM Michael Zafiriou and Sales Manager Matt Kutyna who also echoed Joannas sense of welcome. They were able to troubleshoot supply issues and ensure we got a great vehicle at the best price. We are truly grateful for the service we received and will be back for vehicle maintenance and when its time for a new vehicle in the future.

Another shady car dealership. I dropped off my car because the headlight was out. They replaced it and that went fine, however when I picked up the car the horn did not work. I noticed when I got home and parked it, the horn didn’t sound when I pressed the park button. I got back in the car and hit the horn and nothing.Before I dropped the car off the horn worked 100% of the time. When I picked it up it worked 0% of the time. Not at all. I called and they told me to bring it back, they’d look into it. Eventually they called me back and told me that they don’t know how the horn broke during the 24 hrs I left the car in the shop, but they are definitely sure it wasn’t their fault. They “ran diagnostics” that said it wasn’t a workmanship issue, and if I want to fix it it will be $420. When I complained they said they could offer me a discount of $360.

Today marks the second time I’ve taken my car in for service and I’m having to question whether or not the work was actually done. The first time, not 10 minutes after I left the service center my car stopped on the side of the interstate. Today, my inspection report has an ‘all clear’ on at least 2 things I know for a fact have issues. I’m now not sure if the work I brought my car in for was actually done. I am NOT a satisfied customer today. I’m giving 2 stars because the people were nice. I am not, however, satisfied with the service.

My husband and I went to the Volkswagen of Downtown Chicago to purchase a new vehicle and trade our 2015 Jetta. Joanna was the sales person available and I am so glad it was her. She went up and beyond to make sure my husband and I were happy with our new purchase and she stayed with us until 10:30 P.M to make sure we had everything we needed. She also advocated for some of the small details we wanted and we were very happy with our purchase. We encountered some issues with refunds from the previous vehicle we purchased in a different location and Joanna called and checked-in on multiple occasions to assure we were able to figure out and did not need any further assistance. I highly recommend this location and dont forget to ask for Joanna, she is THE BEST!

I take back my previous rating. The entire team worked together efficiently to make my car purchasing experience as stress free as possible.

Miguel impressed me from the first phone call. When we met in person he was organized and professional, and he worked with me on a package price for nearly a dozen overdue maintenance items for my 2012 Passat, including brakes, fuel injection, software updates, and pretty much all fluids and filters.

We went in for a routine oil change thinking it was covered from our auto purchase. We ended up having a discrepancy in the files and computer however our tech, Miguel, handled everything in the best way. He thoroughly explained all of the details and options and involved the right parties to create a positive outcome. He was patient and followed up several times promptly. We highly recommend Volkswagen of Chicago Downtown for all your auto needs. We have been going for years and the work and service is excellent.

Great experience. Kenny was a wonderful salesperson, from the very beginning he answered all my questions, and walked me through every step of car ownership. I really appreciated his candor and how comfortable he made the buying experience. Awesome job!!! Im now the proud owner of my very first Volkswagen.

Michael Szafraniec of Volkswagen Downtown Chicago is a diamond in a large City! He stays late for his customers, he comforts them, and reassured them that service is great, no worries ! It makes for a truly amazing experience since the stresses of car trouble can be a little overwhelming! He and the service team get a five star from this customer ! I would not take my car anyplace else!

While I appreciate the services I received, I did not appreciate that several staff members & customers were not wearing masks appropriately. I asked a customer to please put his mask up to which he replied “I know them here and I don’t have to”. After the day I had at work in a hospital, I decided to leave the building and wait outside. I did not feel like it would have been resolved if I had approached a staff member as many of the staff pulled their masks down throughout the time I spent inside. There is not an adequate waiting space inside. I’m lucky it was a nice enough day to wait outside. I do not see myself returning during COVID for these reasons.

5 days after purchasing a used vehicle, the battery was DEAD. It needed replacing so I handled it at a local auto parts store. Before I went to the store I reached out to my salesperson from DTVW to let them know the battery was faulty and needed replacing and was told that maybe they could do something to help me. Its been 6 weeks and Ive had to reach out too many times, been passed around from one person to another, and told to wait and see. At no point have I felt like a valued customer. The feeling I get is that IF they could reimburse me for the new battery ($190), it would come down to an accounting fumble (extra cash laying around at the end of March) and I should be grateful for their generosity. I dont expect any $$$, I dont expect a follow-up or follow-through, and unfortunately, I dont respect whatever inspection they put their pre-owned vehicles through.

I brought my VW Atlas in for its first maintenance check and couldn’t have been happier. Mike did a great job explaining all the checks performed on the vehicle and worked with my schedule to make sure it was done in a timely manner. I will definitely be back!

Hands down the best car buying experience I’ve ever had! Bill went out of his way to help us find a car we love and one that fits our needs perfectly. Bill was enthusiastic, but not pushy. He was knowledgeable and interested in sharing all the details, bells and whistles, plus he went out of his way to find us our dream car color, both inside and out. Bill was beyond patient when we wanted to test drive a wide assortment of cars in the garage. If you stop in to buy a car, ask for Bill, he’s the best!

Go elsewhere to buy your VW. We got an atlas from here 3 weeks ago. We only had had one key and there was a crack in the windshield.Braden, the salesman, told us we would get a second key and the windshield fixed within a week no problem. Weve followed up with him a total of 6 times and we have not received a response. It’s now been 3 weeks and no one has contacted us back. Totally miserable dealership. Once they make the sale they dont care.Initially I told him we wouldnt drive off the lot or purchase the car without a second key and the windshield fixed. He laughed in my face and told me its no problem. he promised he would fix the issues and that we could trust him because he used to work at a church (?whatever that means).Anyway. Avoid this dealership and avoid Braden. Completely disappointed with the outcome and with our car.

Mike in the service department gets high marks for his great communication. Wed have 5 -stars if they had done a bit more legwork in diagnosing my issue so I could get my car back in a day.
